Here is another exclusive story of a top-level appointment in the Asia-Pacific wealth management market.

BNP Paribas Wealth Management has hired Sanjay Shah from JP Morgan Private Bank as team head and senior banker for the Hong Kong-based non-resident Indian team at the French banking group, this publication can exclusively report.

Shah joined the Paris-listed lender in early September and reports to Masroor Batin, who is head of NRI clients.

As part of his role, Shah is responsible for further growing BNP Paribas’ NRI business in Hong Kong and leads a team of relationship managers specifically serving this client segment.

Ng previously held responsibility for the Swiss bank's ultra-high net worth clients in Indonesia. In the newly-created role at BNP Paribas, he is based in Singapore. He joined with Sharon Yee, also from UBS, who has been appointed team leader, also based in Singapore.
